Hello everyone,
I'm a scholarship 3/C Midshipman that is toying with the idea of changing colleges for a variety of reasons, but I've got a major question regarding how this might affect service selection for the reason you will see below.
When transferring from one college to another, it is my understanding that GPA does not transfer to the new college. For instance, if you completed 60 credits with a 2.75 GPA and transferred to a new school, you may begin with all 60 credits (or minus those that do that directly transfer), yet you effectively have no GPA until you complete you're first semester there.
Here is my question: When this situation faces the Naval Service Selection Board, do would they account for entire college GPA (have a transcript from both colleges) or would they only look at the transcript from the newest college?
If it is the first one, I'd assume they would thus have a copy of your original transcript at your new unit to send off with your selection package. However, if the latter proves to be the way it is handled then it is very possible for someone to screw with the system. IE: Someone completes two years with a bad GPA, transfers colleges, and works hard their Junior year before their service selection is sent off with a higher GPA, or alternately, someone with a 4.0 transfers to a different school, has a hard junior year, and their GPA is effectively wiped out.
If anyone knows the details of how this works, I would greatly appreciate it.
